Health Care

Overview

Our attorneys assist clients in a number of areas unique to the health care industry, including regulatory matters, third party reimbursement issues, licensure matters, certificates of need and counseling in the avoidance of fraud and abuse.

We guide clients.As the health care industry continues to change at a pace that cannot be matched by the regulatory structure, many innovations do not fit neatly into existing categories. We rise to this challenge and guide clients, together with their partners, investors and regulators, through uncharted waters, framing the discourse in ways that simplify the implementation of innovation and benefit our clients.

We regularly advise clients, and negotiate with regulatory agencies, on questions of first impression. We also counsel clients on legislative strategies. On behalf of our health care clients, we also routinely handle issues common to all complex corporate entities, such as mergers and acquisitions, real estate matters, financings, contract matters, joint ventures, and the range of conventional to complex tax issues generally faced by businesses and not-for-profit organizations.

We practice preventive law.To the extent possible, we practice preventive law. We are results-oriented and seek to insulate our clients from unnecessary litigation or regulatory action by being involved in the planning stages of new initiatives and transactions. However, litigation is sometimes unavoidable, and our litigation attorneys represent our health care clients before state and federal courts and administrative agencies on a regular basis.
